:: Some mag news from Amanda..
there's a magazine called "M," and in this year's April issue, there's a picture of Orlando Bloom and on the very last page, there's a really great picture of Elijah. At the bottome of the picture (It's a quarter page), there's a quote that reads, "I didn't go to regular high school. But, if I had, I think I would have been a bit of a loner." I don't know where all you can get the magazine, but I got mine in a Tom Thumb grocery store.:: For everyone that loves Sean Astin out there (who doesn't :p) he'll be on Conan O'Brien on Friday April 18 :) - Thanks Egluzzia!

:: Some gossip from sixpage.com..
WALLS HAVE EARS - Don't expect to see "Lord of the Rings" star Elijah Wood in any Joel Schumacher movies. A few nights ago, Wood and some pals went to Loews Cineplex at Broadway and 84th to see a 9:50 p.m. showing of "Phone Booth," which Schumacher directed. After the credits rolled, our spy said Wood "mouthed off about how the movie wasn't that good, and neither was the editing" and then made the statement: "Joel Schumacher couldn't direct his way out of a paper bag!" A rep for Wood said her client was at the theater but that "he never said that. Elijah is a huge fan of Joel's." Thanks Maureen!

A box of them usually costs +$120 on the net, but she sold them to me at a *really* reasonable price (you will save at least $50). If you're interested e-mail her.
